Your toughest work is defining what your work is! – Peter Drucker
SUMMARY
- This week was a fine week as far as school work goes. I didn’t really struggle with much, the only thing that somewhat affected me was the amount of time I spent on assignments.
PRACTICE ROOM (TUTORIALS)
In this ‘room’ you are going to try Getting Things Done (GTD).
STEP 1: MAKE A LIST
- I need to complete a decent amount of things for school.
- I have a project in biology
- An assignment in Spanish
- Math homework in Algebra 2
- Read The Tempest in English
- Do the Blog post
STEP 2: NOTICE WHAT YOU NOTICED
- 1. My Biology Project on Keystone Species
- 2. Homework in Math
- 3. The Blog Post
- 4. Spanish Assignment
- 5. Reading The Tempest
STEP 3: SET A TIMER
OUTSIDE (PRODUCTIVITY & THE BRAIN)
- Reflect on GTD and getting to the top of the colorful list above for a minute
- How can the GTD process help you tame the crazy-busy dragon of modern life?
- I didn’t go on a walk because there isn’t a lot of areas where I can walk. Instead I just relaxed in my room for a bit, which I thought was sort of the indoor equivalent. I just thought about stuff that was important and sort of organized my plans for the week.
OPTIONAL EXERCISE – Literally, read the article and go for another walk 🙂

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
- One important thing I learned this week was how to manage my time. I came to the realization that if I manage or organize my time I’ll most likely be able to finish it faster or be able to have more free time in the future.
- A problem that I’ve had for a long time in procrastination. Now that I’ve been spending more time, thinking and managing my own time, I’ve been more satisfied, mentally, about my completed assignments and I haven’t have to stress about them as much. Although I still struggle with it, it’s a process that I have to go through.
